Jet 12 vintage vs reissue

["Rob Lowe" <bluesmafia01@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey guys,

I've recently begun looking for an Ampeg Jet 12.  I'm not sure if I want to
go ahead and buy a reissue...or hold out and hope to find a vintage amp.

I was hoping someone on this list has some insight as to the differences
between the two.

Are the features the same?

I know the tube layout is different, but that's about it.

I realize that there is more maintenance involved with a vintage amp than
with a newer model but if the original J12 sounds a lot better than the
reissue...then some thing are worth the wait!


thanks!

Rob
